Thornton Park

walkable hip · 32803

Thornton Park sits just east of downtown, close enough to walk to Lake Eola but quiet enough that residents pretend they don't. The brick streets and bungalows do most of the lifting, with a tight cluster of patios along Washington and Summerlin that function as the de facto living room: brunch at Stubborn Mule, wine at Burton's, coffee at Foxtail. It is the neighborhood Orlando points to when it wants to prove it has a walkable, grown-up district. Verdict: small, expensive per square foot, and conspicuously charming, which is exactly the trade most residents made on purpose.
